PFMJ Oboe Performance

• Naxos Music Library ​ (use the smartphone app)
• Orchestral Parts on CD-ROM (full parts as PDFs)

QUICK TIP: use a keyword search:
 

1. If the piece is a form of music (etude, concerto, sonata, etc.), include the stem of the word with a ? in it (concert?, etud?, sonat?)
2. If the title is descriptive (Twilight Music, etc.), put in as many of the words that you are sure of
3. Include known instruments, key, opus nos., and the composer's name (see example for finding a oboe concerto -- note: search is not case sensitive)
4. ​Filter your results with the options of scores or audio
    

 
ADVANCED SEARCHING: use the Author/Composer (Search by title) option
 

1. This will give you an alphabetical list of all works by that composer we have
2. More instruction here: Finding Scores and Recordings in the Catalog
